2006-03-11
The Imam of a Sunni mosque in central Samarra, 150 km north of Baghdad, was killed on Friday in a car bomb attack nearby a mosque.
Awww. Gee. Shucks. An imam. I'm just so broken up.
A source in the Joint Coordination Center told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that a car bomb went off nearby Othman bin Affan Mosque, killing Razzaq Al-Samarrae and wounding a woman and a child. The source added that an explosive device was [also] detonated targeting an Iraqi Police patrol in Samarra, killing two civilians and wounding others.

In another incident, unknown gunmen on Friday assassinated Iraqi Army Colonel Sabah Ismael and burned his car in southern Kirkuk. Also, a group of unknown gunmen abducted Director of Huwaijah Youth Center Saheb Saleh.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi Army announced that it arrested 17 suspects, including 12 wanted extremists, in three separate operations in different areas. A press release issued by the Iraqi Army said its forces arrested 12 suspected terrorists in search operations in the areas of Al-Jazeerah, Ramadi, and Falluja, noting that detainees are being interrogated.
"Oooooww! [Gasp!]... Yer violatin' me human rights!"
"Hit him again, Mahmoud!"
The Iraqi Army forces also arrested five suspects in search operations in A'dhamiya and Baghdad Al-Jadidah areas during the past 24 hours.
